Just for show...dont judge

nelld815: I look to the trees in the forest.
I watch the fish in the lake.
I feel my body wants to rest.
I cant pretend to be fake.

The pretend smiles of another day.
Effort made to keep living.
I overthink every word I want to say.
Forced into my forgiving.

Screaming inside, looking inviting.
Dark images trying to escape.
I'm friendly...never frightening.
Helping all, showing my heroes cape.

Make me play nice to the demons you know.
My mask slipping more and more.
Always saying yes, wanting to shout no.
Did you know I was always keeping score?

Every single day, so every living creature..
They die a little, as we begun, we end.
In a world of lifes students and teachers,
Unknowing we are all judged and condemned.

I shouted, screamed, I danced and sang.
A life that gave hurt and pain.
I told everyone my story, how I began.
And even now you say...why do you complain?
